Overdue!!

2 years ago I made these dresses for Chinese New Year. The tradition is to have at least one new outfit for the first day of the celebration. The cutting stage felt like it took forever having to consider the embroidery placement and direction of the motifs. Anyway, all's well the end's well but the fabric was unsuitable for the hot, sticky weather back home. Yes, I was sitting in front of the fan all day long. On Chinese New Year. With makeup running down my face. Hahahaaa

Dress I made in 2009 - sweating in this one the first day of Chinese New Year.

Dress I made in 2009 - didn't get to wear it during CNY but made its 'debut' when I got back to Melbourne

Still have a lot of this fabric left, yes, I do have a soft spot for embroidery. Ask my girlfriends
